Some fun stuff going on here. Agreed Raptors are lovely to watch, the original fighter pilots. Went to a local raptor rehab once and held a Great Horned Owl, obviously had on long thick arm, and hand protection and the sheer power of this bird as it was clutching my extended arm was amazing. Bald Eagles may be the most beautiful of all, my sister during her tenure in Alaska said there were so many of them in the appropriately named, Eagle Creek area, that they were almost a pest.
